I'm at the Studio 2008 stage in migrating from VB6 to Studio 2010. My application appears to run OK for the most part, but my MSFlexGrid display's single column is just 8 or 10 characters wide -- it should span the entire grid display (i.e., have the same width as the grid).The Studio 2008-Upgraded code sets several grid properties correctly, but the statement ".ColWidth(0) = .Width" (in the scope of a With block) causes an error. So does the statement ".TextMatrix(0, 0) = string".
Not only are these properties not included in the upgraded control (now identified as AxMSFlexGrid), but some column-related properties are greyed out in the properties list. My grid size was set originally by cursor drag, and the present .Size sub-properties of .Width and .Height are set to the numbers 593 and 329, respectively. (My form has a fixed size and is user-moveable but not user resizable.)
I am retrieving data from a table and displaying it in a datagrid, how can I make the columnwidth variable depending on the size of the text field being returned and do it in the code ?
I have a gridview with autogenerated columns that I set programmatically I want to format the column width. This is my code for my gridview in code behind...
If Not Page.IsPostBack Then Dim budgetTable As New DataTable("Budgets") budgetTable.Columns.Add("Approval Date", GetType(Date))
How set a width for an individual column in DataGridView? I make my datagridview fill. But the problem is The column index 1 is not fit on the datagridview. How can I set an assigned width so that I can managed the spaces.
I want to set header column width for grid view. I tried HeaderStyle-Width="30px". But it is depending on Item columns. The column width is setting based on item value. But I want fixed width even if it has value or empty.
I have a ComboBox with its datasource being a dataset from a SQL Server database.
The width of its columns are relative to the width of the name of the columns. I would like to increase that width in order to see the content properly and not cuted.[code]...
I have a datagrid on my form that has a dataset bound to it via the datagrid properties Tables collection. I have the PreferredColumnWidth property of the datagrid set to 75. How can I change the column width in code to match my column header text?
A ListView Column's with is set to -1 meaning its width is automatically set the width of the widest cell text in the column. I need the width automatcally set but I'd like to know the actual width of the column.
I've a data grid whose source is a data table.The columns in the data table are Serial No.,Item,Description I want the width of each column to be different, like ,the width of serial no. should be very small and that of Description to be lengthier.But, everything is of the same default width.How to adjust the width of each column in a Data Grid so that appearance could be improved?
This problem has been perplexing me for some time now and I've tried various methods of implementing this but all have failed or have been very messy. There must be a recognised way of doing this On a form I have a treeview and listview control. The treeview allows a user to select a node and the listview shows the items within the node - pretty standard stuff. The possible columns (or subitems) list for each item in the listview is big (20 different columns in total). Some users will want to show certain information whilst others won't. Users will also want to customise column location and widths.
Implementing the customer location and widths is easy enough using standard My.Settings variables to store and retrieve the information. The problem is allowing the user to select which columns they want to be visible at any given time whilst still allowing for access to the relevant subitems.
The only method I know to achieve this currently is to set Column.Width = 0. This is not a good solution because the user simply extends the column out again from the user interface. I need to hide the column properly.I've been told that using a repository cache is the way to do this. Unfortunately the person didn't describe this properly and so I'm still stuck at sqaure one. My database access is achieved using Linq to Sql.
I want the ability to auto stretch the listview control column when the form gets resized in vb.net 2008 These are the properties I am mentioning for the ListView now :
I have a databound DataGridView, and I'd like to keep one column in front, with a slightly smaller width than the default. The grid's AutoSizeColumnsMode property is set to Fill so that the columns fill out the entire grid. This makes the first column equally large as all others, which is why I need to set its width manually. The smaller column is the first one with the checkboxes. I have two grids that I need to do this with, and for some reason it works just fine with the first grid, but gives a null reference error on the second grid...
Here's the code for the first grid (working fine): vb.net Public Sub UpdateTodoGrid() ' Load todo items todoGrid.DataSource = _TodoManager.LoadAll() ' Set backcolor For Each row As DataGridViewRow In todoGrid.Rows [Code] .....
As you can see, the code is exactly the same (except for not setting the BackColor of each row and not using the ReadOnly property*). When I run this code, it gives me a null reference error ("Object reference not set to an instance of an object.") on the line where I set the column's Width. Obviously 'col' is not Nothing (otherwise it would have errored before that line), and there's nothing else there that could be Nothing... I assume that something happens internally in the grid when you set the width of a column, and that there is a null reference there, but obviously I have no control over that.
The grid's are absolutely the same, as the second grid is just a 'copy' (meaning I copy/pasted it in the designer) of the first. So all their properties are equal. I thought maybe the ReadOnly properties were the problem, but I tried putting them in in the same way and the issue did not go away... The first grid is not ReadOnly (because the checkboxes need to be editable), but all rows except the first are, while the second grid is completely ReadOnly.
I have a datagrid view containing a customer list that if if double click on a row it brings up a customer maintenance window. Once I hit a save bottom on the second form how can I automatically update the database, refresh the grid on the initial window but remain on the same row on form1 that I double clicked on in the first place. Currently I am re-loading the datagrid on the initial form with all the data once I close the second window down.
I'm using VB.Net 2008 application program. I'm using DataGridView. I have a Print option where I need to print the DataGridView. I'm using this code for Printing and for Print Preview.
Dim MyDataGridViewPrinter As DataGridViewPrinter Private Function SetupThePrinting() As Boolean Dim MyPrintDialog As PrintDialog = New PrintDialog() MyPrintDialog.AllowCurrentPage = False MyPrintDialog.AllowPrintToFile = False [Code] ..... Attached the class I'm using for print.
I have 10 fields showing in datagridview. As the last 5 columns header is long, the datagridview is not fitting inside 1 page (not showing all 10 fields in one single page). But is there a way i can "Text Wrap" the top header column and lock in the width, then it should print across one page perfectly. How I can "Text Wrap" the top header column and lock in the width to print across one page.
